I will reserve my judgement until I see it, but man, why can't we just get a normal set? :D

Has it though? Looking at BL prices they seem to be the same level since release, at least for EU countries.

Maybe they meant they were working on Barad-Dur but were not sure it's actually end up being released until some initial sales data from Rivendell became available?

Alson in the camp wishing Sauron did not use the normal legs. Otherwise what a great set, day 1 purchase for sure. If the fellbeast leak is real I can't say the same about that one. :D

If by the big set you mean Barad-Dur then the minifigs have been already leaked and there is no Witch King just regular Nazgul.

Does he? I thought the big set has Sauron, Mouth of Sauron and "normal" Nazgul only.

Wow, didn't expect that to happen. I think we all know that must mean Witch King and Eowyn for sure finally. :)

Great job! Imagine we actually got any of these instead of the actual dioramas / BHs.

Did the LEGO site crash this time as well? They really need to get better at this. :D

Well bit late to the party but what a disappointing GWP this ended up being. :D Unfortunately I was delaying some purchases to be able to acquire it but right now I guess I will try to resell it immediately. As someone who owns the original there is nothing here worth keeping.

I have the custom Sauron from Nicebricks and at least for me the long legs do work.

I hope for some last alliance minifigs personally. :)

Looks great, exactly what I hoped for. Now where to put it? :D

Probably not the only one, but I think there have already been quite a few discussions about microscale vs. playscale to say there is also group of people who would mind if that's all we get. :)

Where did I argue the quality of minifigs included? But yeah 4 figs for set of this size is lame no matter how good they are.

Looks pretty good, will buy this one for sure. But 4 minifigs only? That's lame.

Honestly price is really not a problem I have with the set. For somebody (and I understand LEGO can't take that into account) who owns lot of the classic Pirates sets I would rather get something new than such a close modern representation of original set.

nevermind...

W: 70cm? Did they measure it based on the bottom left configuration?

Because stickers suck. And once I got used to no stickers (building lot of Cobi military stuff) it's just such a annoying thing when going back to LEGO to deal with those.

That's actually one more gripe i have with the set. I don't expect connection that would enable me to lift it in one piece but something more firm than what we got would have been nice.

Sure this is very easy to fix however I would have preferred the actual design to take that into account. Overall the whole chair thing was just pain to put together for me personally.

I ordered mine online immediately it became available. Received it on Tuesday and today I just finished building it. Guess I was the lucky one. Anyway my original plan where to display it didn't work out so currently it's just sitting next to the TV. Thinking about getting some display case for it in the future. Regarding the building experience, not a big fan of the chairs. The design is nice but the build not so much + don't like the figures are not attached to them at all. So you just look at them wrong and all the minifigs go flying immidiately.

So i am around bag 20 and so far i am enjoying it very much. Definitely my kind of build, not too many stickers (for the size of the set) and limited use of technic. :D Add LOTR theme on top and it's almost perfect.

No issues here in Slovakia. It's actually the first thing you see when visiting the website with info that you can already buy it as VIP. I bought mine immediately it became available.
